I know 2 persons who "willingly hand over their grocery shopping information for very transparent discounts". But I live in Germany where a significant amount of people have a healthy relationship to their data and have learned their lesson from history.

I doubt that. Why else I'm almost always asked: "Sammeln Sie Punkte?" or seeing and hearing others being asked that, and mostly they show their card, or nowadays smartphone with app. Why else https://www.payback.de/ https://www.payback.de/ and countless other things like it would be a thing?

  You must live in some parallel universe. I rarely see anybody getting out their phone or card after being asked and it surely is not "almost everybody". Also I see more and more shops which stopped asking. Finally.

    I don't know? Hamburg. You?

      Frankfurt/M mostly: Tegut, REWE, Lidl. Other than that: Bauhaus, IKEA, Bäckereien.

        Various EDEKA, various REWE, real,- , Kaufland, Lidl, Aldi-Nord(does never ask anything!), Penny, Netto, Rossmann, DM, Budni. Though I changed my shopping to early morning, just before going to sleep, instead of "last minute shopping" before closing, after getting up late. So I'm a new face to most cashiers. Idea is less virus load after a night with no people and aircon having sucked it away. I'd hope. Can't say anything about IKEA or Bauhaus atm. Haven't been there for years. Didn't need to. Bakery? KNÄCKEBROT! edit: But asking for some points collection scheme seems to be the default here, except for Aldi. And at least about half of the people do it.

    > Also I see more and more shops which stopped asking. Finally. I've noticed that this is mostly down to the cashier recognizing you and not some kind of policy change. At my regular EDEKA some of the cashiers know me and know I don't do points collection, so they usually don't ask but sometimes still do just out of habit. Cashiers that don't know me will still always ask. Another EDEKA, where I only shop every couple of weeks and nobody recognizes me, I always get asked for the card.
